The Real Buh 3,423 Posted October 23, 2021 Lots of talk on here about new owners etc as I’ve said many, many times. NOBODY IS GOING TO BUY US. Nobody WANTS to buy us. We are a very very VERY unattractive investment opportunity for many reasons (solvent, low debt, not anywhere near london, unlikely to accept a bid from international criminal who has to live on a yacht offshore or the literal mafia) and there are no known “local hero” billionaires who will buy us as a passion project because they’ve always loved Norwich City.

Canary Wundaboy 1,358 Posted October 23, 2021 Then let Delia and MWJ put the club up for sale publicly and prove it. If no-one comes in, fair enough. But they won’t because they don’t want to let it go, and the public position they they won’t let it go is why no-one’s come in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wouldn't be a public discussion. To suggest no one would want to buy the club is rubbish. Even Ipswich found a buyer. It's more a question of whether they'd be welcomed 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are undeniably a very unattractive business prospect. if we had p1ssed all our money away and lived beyond our means we’d be more likely to attract a billionaire wanted by Interpol but as it is we are effectively to stable a business for this to be so. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
percy varco 196 Posted October 23, 2021 Why? Some Americans bought Ipswich. not saying it is going well but they found a buyer so there will always be a buyer its only if Delia will sell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s utter rubbish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted October 23, 2021 Never say never. Nephew Tom might inherit the ownership but he'll have to earn the goodwill himself. Might turn out to be a poison chalice that he can't wait to get rid of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s about being an attractive business proposition. A Saudi Prince might want us… but why? So many factors against us from our solvency, ownership of assets, geography. It’s just incredibly unlikely. The newcastle sale has made some fans think “why aren’t we being bought by a billionaire?” im not pro or against being bought because there isn’t a buyer. I can’t make a decision until there is and it’s unlikely there will be so it’s a moot point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
